为什么全麦面团需要更多的水?

Bread & Fermentation

Whole-grain doughs usually need more water because bran and other fiber-rich particles absorb and hold onto water. They also compete with gluten for the available water, making gluten harder to form and the dough feel drier or stiffer.

Research on wheat bran, whole-grain barley, wheat bran fiber, and whole-grain flour consistently links whole-grain ingredients with greater water absorption. Bran’s fiber can bind water, while larger particles can interfere with gluten development. The exact extra amount depends on the grain, how finely it is ground, and the proportion of whole-grain flour.
